Scheduled to open at the end of the first half of 2022, the reopening of the factory is part of Ball’s investments in South America and aims to strengthen the company’s presence in the region and meet the needs of different clients more efficiently. This will be Ball’s 12th factory in Brazil.

“The Benevides factory will offer various sizes of aluminum cans across different production lines, and by supporting the growing demand from clients in the region for sustainable aluminum beverage cans, we will help boost the markets in Northern and Northeastern Brazil,” says Carlos Pires, President of Ball South America.

Canned Market in Expansion

The aluminum can is the most sustainable packaging in the beverage chain. This is because it is 100% and infinitely recyclable and, when disposed of correctly, returns to the shelves in just 60 days as a new can – a perfect example of a circular economy. To put it into perspective, in Brazil alone, its recycling rate reaches 97.4%.

As a result of high consumer demand, the national aluminum can market has shown positive data: according to information from Abralatas, in the first half of this year, a 22.6% increase in sales of cans to beverage bottling companies was recorded compared to the same period in 2020. The country is the third-largest producer of aluminum cans in the world, with an annual volume of 32 billion units (2020).
